xbmc launcher

[terminator2k2]

hi there, updated my vu+duo2 tonight and installed xbmc launcher via the plugins menu, and now when I try to launch xbmc it just goes to a black screen then back to tv....

is this a bug or have I missed something.?

Mine did the same until I did a fresh install ver 142 then it opened ok, but not working 100%

hi there, whats not working? just trying to weigh up if its worth doing a fresh install

I had the same issue of black screen on solo2

You need to do a fresh install. I did one without any settings/plugins restore and works for me. Took me 10 mins max to setup my receiver after a fresh flash.

I can't get the plugin to play my mkv from my NAS on solo2 and duo2, it scrapes them fine but just shows a black screen when trying to play back, for the record all mkv on the NAS playback ok on solo2 and duo2 via inbuilt media player.

Hi,
and one thing. XBMC and also the animations are only visible on a TV/Monitor connected with HDMI to the box.

ciao

It worked for me after fresh install and settings backup.

re-installed image from fresh and all working fine....xbmc works better than I thought it would....

just 1 thing though....is there anything on the remote that acts as a mouse right click action? only reason I ask is I wanted to delete a file share for videos, the only way I found how to do it was to use a mouse and delete the share that way....

Yes look in this thread.

Just wondering if there is a simple guide on how to setup XBMC on Vu Vix including addons?

[mskhan01]

Have tried google before asking for help, & I don't have a Mac:mad:

[s2tephen]

google

repository.superrepo.org.gotham.all-latest

copy it to a path you can access from XBMC on the receiver.
In XBMC go to systems / all-ons /
install from zip file
Locate the file and install it
then look in Get Add-ons
Then install what you fancy.


It has all you will need

Can you please explain how to do it?

Thanks Guys.One little issue is my Xbmc home screen seems overstretched & towards the corners & bottom appears to be missing some display.Any advice how to improve it?

[duoduo]

If you want to learn how to work xbmc you are going to have to put some reading time in!! I suggest registering with a few forums as there is massive amounts of useful information on them.

Google for TV addons, totalxbmc, Xunity talk these are forums I can personally recommend.

Someone above as also mentioned this but go onto YouTube and look for videos from xbmc helper, these will massively help you..
